Final Fantasy XII - The Zodiac Age (Part 3)

Shame I cannot transfer a saved video from my Switch to PC cos I have a cool clip of my kickass team beating a boss LOL


(I quite like this long scene... as credit)

Well, I am now reaching the end of the game, with just a few more side quests and non-story bosses to beat. Like many other RPG games, the beginning is always the hardest. By mid-game I had so many good weapons even non-story bosses became a bit of a walk in the park. Now I have just got a couple of awesome spells like Ardor and Flare I can finally attempt the more challenging dungeons.

It's also time to re-group my teams ...

Vaan, Balthier and Fran definitely cannot be all on the same team cos that would mean the other team would have no one to administer Remedy3. That pretty much means Fran and Balthier will always be together (thematically also makes sense since they ARE a couple); and Vaan and Penelo also need to pair up (bro and sis). 

I incline to group Princess Ashe with Balthier and Fran cos 1) they are the game's protagonists IMHO and 2) she can cast Bravery and Faith on them; which means I have to give Basch the same if I team him up with Vaan and Penelo (Hashmal). I will give Penelo Dispelga and Arise (Famfrit). So...

Vaan -- Black magic + Yagyu Darkblade & shield for physical attack + Remedy 3 + Steal
Penelo -- physical attack + Bubble (+ Shellga/ Protectga) + Dispelga + Arise
Basch -- physical attack + healing + Bravery/ Faith

Balthier -- physical attack + Remedy 3 + Steal
Fran -- Black magic + physical attack + healing + Arcane magic + Remedy 3
Ashe -- Bravery/ Faith + Bubble + healing + Shellga/ Protectga + Dispelga
